The Time Out Podcast EP 103 With Guest Bart Whelan October 23rd 2025

Tony McGettigan Episode 103

Bart Whelan is from Ardara Co.Donegal and well known throughout the county and beyond. A witty man with great character, with many interesting stories who has experienced so much from the various jobs/roles he has had down through the years. He spent 35 years working as a teacher, for the vast majority of that, he taught woodwork. In GAA circles he was chairman of his local club Ardara for a spell and would go on to become county secretary for 10 years too. Bart is also a fellow colleague of mine on Owenea FM radio where he hosts a programme called 'The History Corner'. As well as talking about all mentioned so far, Bart also recalls building his own house in the mid 70's. I hope you enjoy the interview.
